Macroalgae exhibit diverse responses to human disturbances on coral reefs

Abstract: Scientists and managers rely on indicator taxa such as coral and macroalgal cover to evaluate the effects of human disturbance on coral reefs, often assuming a universally positive relationship between local human disturbance and macroalgae.Despite evidence that macroalgae respond to local stressors in diverse ways, there have been few efforts to evaluate relationships between specific macroalgae taxa and local human-driven disturbance. Using genus-level monitoring data from 1205 sites in the Indian and Pacifi… Show more

“…This variation in dominance could be due to differences in the macroalgae species present in different marine lakes. Macroalgae can be classified as fleshy, filamentous, or calcareous taxa, and different macroalgae species have different responses to environmental variables ( Vroom et al, 2006 ; Diaz-Pulido et al, 2009 ; Cannon et al, 2023 ). The fleshy macroalgae Caulerpa was dominant in Papua 21, the filamentous macroalgae Cladophora was dominant in Papua 5, and the calcareous macroalgae Halimeda was dominant in Papua 2.…”
